A growing number of telecom providers (telcos) offer Triple Play video, data and voice services to their customers. Typically the Triple Play bundle would include IPTV including HDTV, Video on Demand (VoD), broadband Internet services and VoIP. In most cases the Triple Play bundle is supplied by the service provider via a single infrastructure such as xDSL (ADSL, ADSL2+, VDSL) or FTTx that terminates in a Residential Gateway (RG) located either in the home or on an external wall. This architecture calls for a high-speed multimedia local area home network that will distribute the Triple Play services from the RG throughout the house, making them accessible from TVs, PCs, telephones and other consumer devices in any room in the home.

CopperGate provides a breakthrough platform enabling the residence-wide distribution and networking of Triple Play services and multimedia content. CopperGate’s chipset solution establishes a high-speed, QoS, Plug-and-Play, “no new wires” transmission network over existing, in-house coaxial and/or telephone wires.

By embedding CopperGate’s solution inside their deployed Residential Gateways and IP-STBs, service providers can deliver residence-wide Triple Play services without rewiring customers’ homes and with minimal implementation investment.
